Second Graders Preparing for Junior First Lego league.

Second graders are researching honey bee habitats and looking at how various animals face similar threats to the honey bee. They decided to research about honey badgers. One of the biggest threats that many animals face is human recklessness. In preparation for the tournament, students are writing programs and designing projects that depict the habitat they are researching using the Lego Wedo kits.
